What to do when Cook buttons flashing red shows on the pizza oven

Before you book,
in this order.

Each step comes from Wood Stone's own guidance for Cook buttons flashing red on its pizza ovens. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Hold off loading until the lights settle back to green.

02

Check the set point on the touchscreen is the one you meant to use.

03

If the buttons flash red often with a normal set point, book a visit so the controller and the flame control can be checked.

Cleared?

The code has left the display, the decks or the tunnel come up to the set heat and hold it through a full service, the belt keeps its speed and the blowers run steady, all with no part changed. If the same code returns within a week, or on the next busy night, say so when you book.

What not to do

Flashing red on these buttons is not an ignition alarm and does not ask for a reset. It is also different from steady red, which only means the flame is at cook height.

No repair indicated

Nothing to repair.

No part of the oven has failed; the display is reporting a state someone chose or the oven entered on its own. A cool-down keeps the blowers turning after the heat is off until the cavity or the tunnel has dropped to a safe level, an energy save setting lets the decks sag between rushes, and a menu lock stops anyone on the line from changing the bake times. No part is needed: letting the cool-down run out, or the key sequence in the manual, brings the oven back.

In Wood Stone's own words

Lights flashing red--oven is over setpoint.

Questions
about Cook buttons flashing red.

Can I clear Cook buttons flashing red myself?
Hold off loading until the lights settle back to green.
What do flashing red cook buttons mean on a Wood Stone Fire Deck Automatic?
The oven is hotter than its set point. Wait for the buttons to return to green before loading.
What is the difference between steady and flashing red on the FA-9660?

Press and hold the right cook button; that turns the oven off.

Back to your everyday

Still showing Cook buttons flashing red?

A booking with a code goes further when it has the code copied as shown, the model and serial from the rating plate, and a note on whether the oven still lights, heats or moves its belt. With those three, the office can match the likely part to your oven the same day.
